Our Products:

Products we have manufactured range for small electronic components to industrial pumping and atomization equipment. With the majority being fully finished computer input devices for mission critical applications.

Our Commitment to Quality:

We market, sell and support many of the products we manufacture, so we know the importance high quality and a close to 0% failure rate. Additionally, many of our customers use the products we produce in mission critical applications, with over 30 years of experience; we fully understand the need for superior quality in both the product and the service we provide before and after production.

If any product does fail in our tests or in the field, it will be sent to the engineering department for “root cause failure analysis”. After determining the root cause, any improvement in production, components or design will be implemented to prevent a repeat of the failure. We adopt a continuous quality improvement process.

To ensure consistent high quality we are currently obtaining our ISO 9001 certification for our Williamston, Michigan facility.
